Baltimore City homicide detectives are investigating after a body was found Wednesday morning in the northwest part of the city.

Reggie Bullock of the Los Angeles Clippers that Mia Henderson, who was born Kevin Long, was his brother. Bullock also sent a tweet on Wednesday paying tribute to Henderson, with the hashtag "RIPKEVIN."

Baltimore police say the 26-year-old Henderson was found dead early Wednesday morning in an alley in northwest Baltimore. Investigators said officers found the body just before 6 a.m. in an alley behind the 3400 block of Piedmont Avenue. Police have not identified any suspects or established a motive, and they don't know yet whether there's any connection to the slaying of another transgender woman last month.

Bullock is heading into his second season with the Clippers. He was a first-round draft pick last year out of the University of North Carolina.
